Join us for an insightful episode as we examine the intersection of aesthetics and functional medicine with our guest, Lexi Yoo.
A dual board-certified nurse practitioner and expert in anti-aging and functional medicine, Lexi shares how she integrates whole body health with skincare and aesthetic treatments. We discuss peptides' effectiveness in treating fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, emphasizing the importance of high-quality products. Lexi also highlights the connection between gut health and skin conditions, using candida as a key example, and shares how her comprehensive approach has positively impacted lives.
We delve into the trend of incorporating integrative approaches in med spas under the "wellness" banner. Lexi emphasizes the need for authentic functional medicine practices that go beyond replacing prescriptions with supplements, focusing on thorough diagnostic testing and lifestyle changes. Listen as we explore peptides' role in skin health, their function as amino acid chains that trigger cellular messages, and their potential in personalized medicine. Lexi provides insights into the evolving landscape of aesthetics training and the benefits of a practice environment encouraging continuous learning through patient feedback.
Finally, we examine neurotoxins and topical peptides in aesthetic medicine. We compare popular neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport and shift focus to the collagen-boosting properties of GHK-Cu, especially when combined with Argireline and Leuphasyl. We provide practical tips on peptide application routines to maximize skincare results. We also discuss the gut-skin connection and integrative treatment approaches involving peptides, ozone therapy, and dietary adjustments. Tune in to discover how a holistic approach to hormonal acne and gut health can effectively address skin issues.
